"mention of the other explanations for speciation, " only if they had any scientific merit at the time.
There where several theories for evolution, but they fell way as more and more data became available. Worth nothing more now then a mention in an historical context. Creationism/ID had never had scientific merit.
"Do we have proof that mixing together chemicals creates life? Nope. yes we do. We have for over 60 years. STFU and go home.
"your theory of the origin of life remains exactly that. A THEORY." ah, I see you don't know what theory means.
Here is a simple explanation, hopefully you can muster the time to think:
Gravity is a fact: the theory of gravity explains that fact. Germs are a fact: Germ theory explains that fact Evolution is a fact: Evolutionary theory explains that fact.
It's mot detailed then that, but I doubt you would bother to read up.
irrelevant. They have no facts. There oratory skill may be better, but that doesn't make then right. I have heard a lot of smart Catholics debate this, and their argument boils down to " Nu-uh"
Nope. One side Science, data, evidence, predictions. The other side, A book of letters piecemealed together.
There is no controversy, and when the opposition response boils down to "Oh Yeah?" there is no debate. This is a wedge to kill science that disagrees with a poorly interpreted allegory that's thousands of years old.
Because creationism is not science. There is not debate. There is no controversy. Just a bunch of religions zealots shoving their shit with lies and manipulation down children's throats.
"cosmological theories cover the fact that we evolved to this point, but that the Universe was created by some omnipotent being," No, there isn't. There are no cosmological theories that say the universe was creating by some omnipotent being. But that is besides the point, the are talking about evolution not the beginning of all things.
That said, the very notion that some being created the beginning of the universe means you have no clue what beginning of the universe means.
What you are talking about is made up crap by christian apologists.
You;re link is horrible. I'ts like they took every single logical fallacy applies it to headline reports, and then reported it as evil. Clearly they have no clue on any details.
You are what is wrong with this country. You don't think. You just stamp your seal of approval on anything the seems to agree with your preconceived notions.
There is no reason to think/. is 'smarter'. Really, if you are interested in what smart people thing about this, there are sites of actual experts in the field. A genius Software Engineer is no more insightful to something outside her expertise then any one else.
"I think the number of technical stories have stayed about the same, but the number of overall sumissions has increased, so there's just more to read and some of it's what you'd consider junk."
Stop blaming boomers. It's s small group of people using religion as an excuse to do anything and they are very vocal and well funded. As such, they have more influences.
They want new customers that aren't going to return shit after the game.
Best buy will take care og them as well. That said, Costco does have a kick ass return policy. SInce I get rewards from costco, I would by a big ticket item there, if they had the one I want.
The Irony here is that Costco does the same damn thing, except they get you info when you sign up.
Seriously, using costco as an example when talking about taking personal information?
Best buy needs to decide what they are, and then focus on excellence in that area. Right now they are trying to do everything in the home. And in doing so they tend to have mediocre prices for everything.
no. Barring the upper limit and excluding theoretical quantum device, the other bar keeping speeds stagnant is the fabs. Fabricating the level of density without leaking is very hard. Fabs are very ex[pensive to built. Add to the the consumer need for faster clocks has tapered off, it's not worth the expense of massive retooling.
When they can get the metal well below 1 part per billion in the fabs, and create a process to minimize wafer breakage for wafer being cut so precisely, then we may see a doubling of clock speed 2 more times. Then that will be it.

Fact is a repeatable observational natural event.
Like.. every time I drop an apple it falls to the ground.
Gravity is a fact.
The details is worked out through improving the theory through testing.
Gravity is a fact. Developing theories and testing them lead us to things falling at the same rate.
You have just proven that you can cut and paste, but you can't think.
Theories explain a fact.
Gravity is a fact. The theory for gravity explains that fact with the available data.
Same with Germs, and Evolution.
"Rapid electronic communication is now a fact."
Yes, and the fact is explained through theory.
Evolution is a fact. It's observed in nature, and it even makes predictions.
"Do we have proof that mixing together chemicals creates life? Nope.
yes we do. We have for over 60 years. STFU and go home.
"your theory of the origin of life remains exactly that. A THEORY."

If you don't believe the book your religion is based on, then why are you that religion?
If your religion calls for wearing a funny hat, then you need to wear the funny hat; or you aren't really practicing it.

A fine quote...had science stopped an Sir Isaac Newton.
We can explain how the planets where set in motion.

Which it isn't.
Tell that to a 6 year old girl that wants to get her cat unstuck.
Then you are stupid.

"I think the number of technical stories have stayed about the same, but the number of overall sumissions has increased, so there's just more to read and some of it's what you'd consider junk."
by that reasoning, more of it is junk.
Stop blaming boomers.
It's s small group of people using religion as an excuse to do anything and they are very vocal and well funded. As such, they have more influences.
It's worse now, then in 2000; which was far worse the in the 80's.
I pay attention to what they do, in there own press releases.
They have gone from religious over tones, to near zealotry.
Should they post stories about a cat climbing up trees? I mean, some nerds like cats, therefor it's news for nerds.
Because if 'News for nerds' is 'News every nerd might be interested in, it becomes meaningless.
Might as well just read CNN.
As opposed to all the moral companies you shop at.
I just say no thank you. I never stop.
What are they going to do? tackle me?
This is just one area of fraud protection. Something they should do along with several other things.
They want new customers that aren't going to return shit after the game.
Best buy will take care og them as well. That said, Costco does have a kick ass return policy. SInce I get rewards from costco, I would by a big ticket item there, if they had the one I want.

Testing the product will result in broken returns. Meaning, people will break the big ticket tvs then bring them back.
no. Barring the upper limit and excluding theoretical quantum device, the other bar keeping speeds stagnant is the fabs.
Fabricating the level of density without leaking is very hard.
Fabs are very ex[pensive to built.

it's the new plastic.
